Maybe buy a house but that's not a deal-breaker since we don't know where DH's job will take us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1203065 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:39:32 +0000 Dandelion 1203065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't able to ignore it, but after this one, if it comes up again, I will definitely remind myself how much fun being pregnant is NOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1202954 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:46:18 +0000 MrsBrewer 1202954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: You know what's hilarious......I have the exact same goals!!! We're going on a nice vacation in May, we are almost up to 10k in our savings, I'm just starting to get into running, and we bought a house last year!!!! </p> <p>Too funny that we are so similar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1202805 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:41:16 +0000 MamaMoose 1202805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Poor thing!! Having BabyGloss start up in day care is probably going to mean some yucky sickness for all of you but she should build up her immune system pretty quickly!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1202791 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:37:50 +0000 autumnlove 1202791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at my two under 2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1202777 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:35:27 +0000 Vegmama 1202777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave ourselves goals ... We both had baby fever, but we knew we just weren't totally ready. So, we made a list of things to accomplish: Go on a nice vacation, save $10K, start a running routine, get into a home (we were in an apartment), etc. Once we accomplished our goals, we were able to reevaluate, and decided it was indeed time!! Plus, the goals were even more fun to do, because I knew I had an awesome 'prize' at the end. </p> <p>So that's my advice. Set a few obtainable goals or timelines, and work hard to get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201733 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 12:10:59 +0000 MsLipGloss 1201733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: This week, I took care of a sick LO and an uber-sick SO while I myself had the 24-hour version of whatever nasty bug DH has/had. I have no earthly idea how I would have managed to survive if I had (1) been pregnant, or (2) had another LO to take care of! : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201665 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:50:08 +0000 cascademom 1201665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I run after mine on weeknights and weekends as a working mom, but it helps. It definitely helped me get my weight down along with WW. Pregnancy and pp is tough. I want my body to be better prepared for it the next time. If it means a little more spacing in ages between LO and a sibling. I'm okay with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201655 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:47:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 1201655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I don't know why, but I've always had such a hard time losing weight! But I really do think it would be best to get to the healthiest possible weight before putting my body through pregnancy! I'm sure running after a toddler all day helps though! ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201637 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:44:43 +0000 cascademom 1201637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: It's been helpful to me. Before we conceived LO, I was healthier, but not at a great weight. Now, I want to lose more before conceiving to be better on my body than before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201614 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:40:17 +0000 MrsBrewer 1201614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: I can easily use that one! I definitely want to lose weight before TTC. Maybe I can really start focusing on that for a while once I hit my goal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201609 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:39:31 +0000 MrsBrewer 1201609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: That one doesn't work for me!!! lol! I would love ot have an 11 month old running around!! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201598 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:37:38 +0000 cascademom 1201598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at the scale and want to be down another 16 lbs before conceiving again. I don't want to be at my current weight for starting another pregnancy. WW is my baby fever deterrent. Toddler tantrums are another one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201586 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:35:40 +0000 MamaMoose 1201586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I look at my super demanding 11 month old and remind myself I'm not ready to handle two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201583 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:34:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 1201583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Same here!! I mean I go pregnant now, it wouldn't be the end of the world....but due to finances we would REALLY like to wait probably another 6 months to a year (or at least until DH gets a better job)</p> <p>But we've been together 6 years, married for 2, to me it just feels like time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201571 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:32:05 +0000 LuLu Mom 1201571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I'm right there with you!!! I keep telling myself if we got pregnant now it would not be a good time (due to the way my work vacation is) but hte urge is so strong. *just make it to spring* is what I keep telling myself, even though ideally I would hold off until summer because I want a spring baby! So hard when my two BFFs are both due in a few months! Hopefully I will get my baby fix with their boys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-ignore-your-baby-fever#post-1201538 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 11:24:50 +0000 MrsBrewer 1201538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please.help.me. seriously, I'm going crazy....... </p>
